I was July 14th too. I thought I would be doing a little better but I'm really sore. I'm just sipping and trying to walk. Soooo sleepy

Me too. The pain was horrible. Are you able to keep things down?

I drink 3 8oz bottles of Water, 3 Popsicles, and about a half cup of chicken broth a day. I know that's not enough but I just keep trying to drink a little more each day. I do get stomach spasms when a drinking so I'm trying to be kind to my baby sleeve. I haven't had to touch the nausea meds yet, but feeling very sore at the main incision site.

I'm a 14th sleever. I'm hanging in there. Each day has gotten better. I still have pain in the main incision site. Overall I feel weak, fatigued. I think it's because the lack or nutrients. Clear Liquids has nothing. I hope I feel better when I start Protein Shakes. I'm walking around the house but don't really have enough energy to go outside.

I have a swollen red spot in my upper arm. I'm thinking maybe a pooling of iv fluids or a pinched nerve from the blood pressure cuff. It hurts as bad as my main incision. Anyone else have this?

I had the sleeve done July 15th, and I'm having 3 Protein shakes daily - 4 oz of skim milk with a scoop of Protein mix. You're doing no protein at all??

I am allowed only clear liquids until my first post op appointment on Thursday. After a week of no calories, I'm starting to feel pretty weak...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
